1983 Anti-Majid Khan Education Policy movement

The Anti-Majid Khan Education Policy Movement was a historic student movement in Bangladesh during 1982–83. This movement was mainly carried out against the proposed education policy by the then military government's Education Advisor and Minister Dr. Abdul Majid Khan.

The movement arose in protest of alleged discrimination, commercialization, and communalization in the education system under the military government. Students, teachers, and ordinary citizens across the country organized large-scale protests against Dr. Abdul Majid Khan’s proposed education policy. On 14 February 1983, the movement reached its peak when police fired on demonstrators in Dhaka, killing several students and ordinary people. Later, as a result of continued protest, the government was forced to suspend the education policy.

This event is considered a significant milestone in the democratic movement of Bangladesh. The movement holds special importance in the history of Bangladesh's education and democratic struggles.
